2. When any parcel or package containing any of the articles above specified
shall be so delivered, and its value and contents declared as aforesaid, and
such value shall exceed the sum of ten pounds, it shall be lawful for such
mail contractors, stage coach proprietors, and other common carriers to demand
and receive an increased rate of charge, to be notified by some notice affixed
in legible characters in some public and conspicuous part of the office,
warehouse, or other receiving house where such parcels or packages are
received by them for the purpose of conveyance, stating the increased rates of
charge required to be paid over and above the ordinary rate of carriage as a

of such valuable articles; and all persons sending or delivering parcels or
packages containing such valuable articles as aforesaid at such office shall
be bound by such notice, without further proof of the same having come to
their knowledge.
